'We can only learn to love, by loving' ~ Iris Murdoch

~

High School was a rough start to my adult life, having to always be perfect, smart and beautiful. Having to always impress others, I soon started to creep in depression. Starving myself, cutting myself, being told I was worthless as a teenager. My father always commented on my outfit, before heading to school.

Always had something to take from me, such as my thighs, my arms, stomach...anything that stuck out the most.

It was hard trying to impress everyone all around me, thinking that I was never going to be alright in the future. However things started to change when....'he'....came into the picture. He was very popular within high school, and was always smiling to all his friends when playing football.

Reiner Braun.

Both of us were similar is some areas, but.........we both had parents that had the world weighed upon both of us. It's why he's chosen football, to get a better reputation. How do I know about his past, about his mother? Well when both of us collided into each other, I caught his attention. We just clicked the moment we started noticing each other more, and soon we both were doing group projects together.

Our romance only begun when soon we were in eleventh grade, he was the first to confess.

He asked me out to the cinemas which was such a typical teenager thing to do, but it was a good movie. I couldn't forget the way he held my hand in his large one, how it fitted so perfectly. Yet home was rather getting more abusives, with my father coming in drunk and throwing bottles at me to vent. Depression soon came back, thinking it was gone for a moment. Reiner made my life easier to survive, but when I'm home alone.....I felt trapped.

During twelfth grade mother was diagnosed with cancer, hearing that she didn't have enough time.

However she asked to meet my boyfriend, wanting to see the man who would take care of me for the rest of my life. Well that's how it felt after dating for a year, only wanting what's best for me. Soon she passed away a painless death, only to see a smile of peace across her gentle face. The pain was unbearable, and soon it was close to moving to college after graduation.

Life had it's ups and downs, life was a struggle but Reiner kept it from collapsing.

Stretching my aching limbs a sigh leaves my lips, before rolling over feeling large arms wrap around my body. Nuzzle my nose into his neck, my hand rests against his bare chest. His body so warm, and comforting. A groan leaves my throat, knotting my eyebrows feeling rather annoyed it's morning already.

His soft snores were so cute, especially when his hot breath was fanning against my ear.

His arm soon pulls me closer feeling him turn over, ruffling the sheets before his nose grazes my own. My eyes were still closed, not wanting to get up at all. Pressing a lazy kiss against his nose, he stirs slightly before feeling repeat the same gesture. Warm lips meet my nose, hearing him inhale deeply before exhaling with a dry yawn.
